Sources of Magnetic Field
• We have learned so far about the effects of magnetic
field on electric currents and moving charge
• We will now learn about the dynamics of magnetism
– How do we determine magnetic field strengths in certain
situations?
– How do two wires with electric current interact?
– What is the general approach to finding the connection
between current and magnetic field?

Magnetic Field due to a Straight Wire
• The magnetic field due to the current flowing through a
straight wire forms a circular pattern around the wire
– What do you imagine the strength of the field is as a function of the
distance from the wire?
• It must be weaker as the distance increases
– How about as a function of current?
• Directly proportional to the current
– Indeed, the above are experimentally verified B 
• This is valid as long as r << the length of the wire

– The proportionality constant is m0/2p, thus the field strength

Calculation of B near wire. A vertical electric
wire in the wall of a building carries a dc current of
25A upward. What is the magnetic field at a point
10cm due north of this wire?

Force Between Two Parallel Wires
• We have learned that a wire carrying the current produces
magnetic field
• Now what do you think will happen if we place two current
carrying wires next to each other?
– They will exert force onto each other. Repel or attract?
– Depending on the direction of the currents
• This was first pointed out by Ampére.
• Let’s consider two long parallel conductors separated by a
distance d, carrying currents I1 and I2.
• At the location of the second conductor, the magnitude of the
m0 I1
magnetic field produced by I1 is

Force Between Two Parallel Wires
• The force F by a magnetic field B1 on a wire of
length l, carrying the current I2 when the field and
the current are perpendicular to each other is: F I 2 B1l
– So the force per unit length is F
m0 I1
 I 2 B1  I 2

– This force is only due to the magnetic field generated by
the wire carrying the current I1
• There is the force exerted on the wire carrying the current I1
by the wire carrying current I2 of the same magnitude but in
opposite direction
F m0 I1I 2
the force per unit length is l  2p d
• So
• How about the direction of the force?

Example 28 – 2
Suspending a wire with current. A horizontal wire carries
a current I1=80A DC. A second parallel wire 20cm below it
must carry how much current I2 so that it doesn’t fall due
to the gravity? The lower has a mass of 0.12g per meter
of length.
Which direction is the gravitational force? Downward
This force must be balanced by the magnetic force exerted on the wire by
the first wire. Fg mg FM m0 I1 I 2

Operational Definition of Ampere and Coulomb
• The permeability of free space is defined to be exactly
m0  4p  107 T  m A
• The unit of current, ampere, is defined using the definition of
the force between two wires each carrying 1A of current and
separated by 1m

1m
– So 1A is defined as: the current flowing each of two long parallel
conductors 1m apart, which results in a force of exactly 2x10-7N/m.
• Coulomb is then defined as exactly 1C=1A.s.
• We do it this way since current is measured more accurately
and controlled more easily than charge.

Ampére’s Law
• What is the relationship between magnetic field
strength and the current? B  m0 I
– Does this work in all cases?
2p r
• Nope!
• OK, then when?
• Only valid for a long straight wire
• Then what would be the more generalized
relationship between the current and the magnetic
field for any shape of the wire?
– French scientist André Marie Ampére proposed such a
relationship soon after Oersted’s discovery

Ampére’s Law
• Let’s consider an arbitrary closed path
around the current as shown in the figure.
– Let’s split this path with small segments each
of Dl long.
– The sum of all the products of the length of each
segment and the component of B parallel to that
segment is equal to m0 times the net current Iencl that
passes through the surface enclosed by the path
–  B Dl  m0 I encl
– In the limit Dl 0, this relation becomes
–

Looks very similar to a law in
the electricity. Which law is it?
Gauss’ Law
11
Verification of Ampére’s Law
• Let’s find the magnitude of B at a distance r
away from a long straight wire w/ current I
– This is a verification of Ampere’s Law
– We can apply Ampere’s law to a circular path of
radius r.

Verification of Ampére’s Law
• Since Ampere’s law is valid in general, B in Ampere’s law is
not just due to the current Iencl.
• B is the field at each point in space along the chosen path
due to all sources
– Including the current I enclosed by the path but also due to any
other sources
– How do you obtain B in the figure at any point?
• Vector sum of the field by the two currents
– The result of the closed path integral in Ampere’s law for
green dashed path is still m0I1. Why?
– While B in each point along the path varies, the integral
over the closed path still comes out the same whether
there is the second wire or not.

Example 28 – 4
Field inside and outside a wire. A long straight
cylindrical wire conductor of radius R carries current I of
uniform density in the conductor. Determine the
magnetic field at (a) points outside the conductor (r>R)
and (b) points inside the conductor (r<R). Assume that r,
the radial distance from the axis, is much less than the
length of the wire. (c) If R=2.0mm and I=60A, what is B
at r=1.0mm, r=2.0mm and r=3.0mm?
Since the wire is long, straight and symmetric, the field should be the same
at any point the same distance from the center of the wire.
Since B must be tangent to circles around the wire, let’s choose a circular
path of closed-path integral outside the wire (r>R). What is Iencl? I encl  I
So using Ampere’s law

Solving for B
The field is 0 at r=0 and increases linearly
as a function of the distance from the
center of the wire up to r=R then decreases
as 1/r beyond the radius of the conductor.

Example 28 – 5
Coaxial cable. A coaxial cable is a single wire surrounded by a
cylindrical metallic braid, as shown in the figure. The two
conductors are separated by an insulator. The central wire
carries current to the other end of the cable, and the outer braid
carries the return current and is usually considered ground.
Describe the magnetic field (a) in the space between the
conductors and (b) outside the cable.
(a) The magnetic field between the conductors is the same
as the long, straight wire case since the current in the outer
conductor does not impact the enclosed current.

2p r
(b) Outside the cable, we can draw a similar circular path, since we
expect the field to have a circular symmetry. What is the sum of the total
current inside the closed path? I encl  I  I  0.
So there is no magnetic field outside a coaxial cable. In other words, the
coaxial cable self-shields. The outer conductor also shields against an
external electric field. Cleaner signal and less noise.
